A steady, experienced guard with a scoring touch
Markel Leonard’s best case is a reliable, veteran-style backcourt piece who can score in bunches and create a little for others; in his 2016-17 season at Lewis & Clark, he averaged 11.6 points per game and 2.0 assists while starting all 25 games, which points to a consistent role and solid floor. He profiles as a tough, competitive guard rather than a flashy star, and his value is in shot-making, composure, and being a connector who can fit into a team-first system.
